Hi Phil, you left of the graveplot/location for this man and i don't think he will have a CWGC headstone but maybe and inscription on a family headstone paid for by the CWGC?
Either way i will put it on my list to get for you.

His grave Grave Reference: Sec.R.C 34. Grave 657.

Hi Phil, well i braved the weather this morning and dragged my bike out for the ride ;D
I managed to get your man buried in Radcliffe for you and also photographed every CWGC headstone while i was there but as the weather took a turn for even heavier rain. I was not able to search every headstone for men who died WW1 & 2 in privet graves.
Will send you and email with the photo you asked for. It maybe a week or so before me and that darn bike brave the weather again to get your missing man in Agecroft, but i will do it.I have sent you further information on some of the men buried in Southern cemetery.
Migky  ;)

Note for Beannie *
When you go to Southern cemetery, i think you will find that not all those men buried there are in CWGC graves. Meaning they may not have the white sandstone headstones and maybe be buried in family graves. Which can make it a little tricky sometime to find as the CWGC headstone are normally easy to spot, but sure some one like your self will find what ever headstone are there.
Tis a big place.

Migky, what can I say.  firstly thanks for the emails with the Photo's you had on file, fantastic stuff.  But sharing info that you already have is one thing, but getting on your bike (literaly), and going out in the rain to get a photo within 24 hours is something else.

An example of what being a forum member is all about, giving as well as taking

Thanks once again

Phil
